The main risk is salmonella, but unlike other food-borne diseases like listeria, pregnant women are not at an increased risk of getting it. Salmonella also does not cross the placenta and affect the fetus. The exception is apparently the variety of salmonella that causes typhus, but I don't see any indication that this kind is found in eggs primarily. So the only problem with salmonella is it may get the mom sick, and that's not a big enough issue for me.

Sorry bro, it can cause miscarriage. That being said, I did eat runny eggs while pregnant. But I ran a mental risk/benefit analysis first. I did microwave my lunch meat tho b.c to me that was worth it..it didn't ruin the taste and increased the safety from a much more dangerous bacterium.

It's not old school. This is trendy new stuff. I don't remember any foods being off limits. Ever. And I have five kids from 16 to 27. Maybe I just hung around sane people and had sane doctors. [/quote

+1. I ate a ton of raw cookie dough with all five of my pregnancies. Never gave it a thought. I ate sunny side up eggs several times a week.

I would ask and if they don't know what you're talking about I wouldn't eat uncooked eggs there. You can call ahead. People have lots of food allergies these days - asking about the eggs is not a big deal.

You may have to make it yourself or find a substitute. I ate my eggs over hard when pregnant. And I thought a roasted turkey wrap at Phillips was a good trade when I wanted lunch meat.

I say this as a third-time-around pregnant lady who's currently debating whether or not to go eat the sushi leftovers from earlier tonight (with uncooked fish! :O ) in our refrigerator.


So OP should ignore your advice.

I'm more scared of the industrially processed foods. That is where all the ecoli, slamonella, and listeria outbreaks happen.


Where are you getting that information?

Yup. What a nutcase and the kid isn't even born yet.

Wonder if the OP registered for a bottle sterilizer.


This is overly harsh. There's a lot of fear-mongering marketed to pregnant women. It can be difficult to judge what's appropriate or not.

OP, read Expecting Better.


OP is not going to bottle feed!

We're aware, and are of the opinion that she (and you) need to lighten the eff up, stop yelling, and eat a damn over-easy egg. Life must be exhausting for you.

Salmonella in eggs comes from chickens with infected ovaries. Unwashed eggs do not have to be refrigerated to prevent spoilage, but absolutely have no protection against salmonella.
